Annual Surveys in Manufacturing Area
AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In conformity with Title 13, United States Code (Sections 182,
224, and 225), I have determined that annual data to be derived from
the surveys listed below are needed to aid the efficient performance of
essential governmental functions and have significant application to
the needs of the public and industry. The data derived from these
surveys, most of which have been conducted for many years, are not
publicly available from nongovernmental or other governmental sources.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David W. Cartwright, Chief,
Manufacturing and Construction Division on (301) 457-4593.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is authorized to take
surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by
the major censuses authorized by Title 13, United States Code. These
surveys will provide continuing and timely national statistical data on
manufacturing for the period between economic censuses. The next
economic censuses will be conducted for 1997. The data collected in
these surveys will be within the general scope and nature of those
inquiries covered in the economic censuses.
Annual Current Industrial Reports
Most of the following commodity or product surveys provide data on
shipments or production; some provide data on stocks, unfilled orders,
orders booked, consumption, and so forth. Reports will be required of
all or a sample of establishments engaged in the production of the

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, Public Law 104-13,
these surveys have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under OMB control numbers 0607-0392, 0607-0395, 0607-0476, and

Annual Survey of Manufactures
The Annual Survey of Manufactures collects industry statistics such
as total value of shipments, employment, payroll, workers' hours,
capital expenditures, cost of materials consumed, supplemental labor
costs, and so forth. This survey, while conducted on a sample basis,
covers all manufacturing industries, including data on plants under
construction but not yet in operation.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, Public Law 104-13,
this survey has been approved by the OMB under OMB control number 0607-
0449.
Survey of Industrial Research and Development
The Survey of Industrial Research and Development measures spending
on research and development activities in private U.S. businesses. The
Census Bureau collects and compiles this information with funding from
the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF publishes the results in
its publication series. Four data items in the survey provide interim
statistics collected in the Census Bureau's Economic Censuses. These
items (total company sales, total company employment, total
expenditures and Federally-funded expenditures for research and
development conducted within the company) are collected on a mandatory
basis under the authority of Title 13. Responses to all other data
collected for the NSF are voluntary.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, Public Law 104-13,
this survey has been approved by the OMB under OMB control number 3145-
0027.
Conclusion
I have, therefore, directed that these annual surveys be conducted
for the purpose of collecting the data as described.
Dated: February 12, 1997.

Director, Bureau of the Census.
